Produktbeschreibung

Emmanuel FalqueGCOs The Wedding Feast of the Lamb represents a turning point in his thought. Here, Falque links philosophy and theology in an original fashion that allows us to see the full effect of theologyGCOs GCGBPbacklashGC against philosophy. By attending closely to the incarnation and the eucharist, Falque develops a new concept of the body and of love: By avoiding the common mistake of GangelismGGconsciousness without bodyGFalque considers the depths to which our humanity reflects animality, or body without consciousness. He shows the continued relevance of the question GHow can this man give us his flesh to eat?G (John 6:52), especially to philosophy. We need to question the meaning of Gthis is my bodyG in Ga way that responds to the needs of our timeG (Vatican II). Because of the ways that GHoc est corpus meumG has shaped our culture and our modernity, this is a problem both for religious belief and for culture.
